I noticed that of those on this website who use one of these two meds, most use requip. I have been on mirapex (pramipexole) and would like to ask if there is reason to prefer requip as I will see a new neurologist tomorrow and could ask to change to requip if there is benefit. I did read that studies show there is more possibility of requip being neuroprotective and if that is true it would make sense to switch over. Thank so much for any information or thoughts anyone may share!
